Take a trek down the Scioto Mile

Located in the heart of downtown Columbus, the Scioto Mile is an urban oasis comprised of more than 175 acres of lush parkland. Stretching along the waterfront from the vibrant Arena District to the natural beauty of the Whittier Peninsula, our riverfront parks connect downtown to the Scioto River through an integrated system of parks, boulevards, bikeways and pedestrian paths.

PREMIER GREEN SPACES, OUTDOOR CONCERTS, URBAN FESTIVALS – & MORE

Fostering some of our City’s most celebrated features, the Scioto Mile has something for everyone, including a stunning 15,000-square-foot interactive fountain, spectacular events like the Jazz & Rib Fest and Rhythm on the River summer concert series, and miles and miles of beautifully maintained trails. Our city parks, greenways, special events, downtown skyline views and scenic atmosphere make the Scioto Mile a true highlight for Central Ohio and beyond.

PUBLIC PARKS & OPEN SPACES FOR EVERY VISITOR

For our impressive line-up of municipal parks and urban green spaces, enjoying the fantastic views is only the tip of the iceberg. The nine parks along the Scioto Mile offer something for everyone – memorials, public art, performance pavilions, recreation opportunities, fountains, swinging benches, bird watching, even a climbing wall.
